Defendant's Attorney: Unknown

Description:

Brenda Schenk, age 37, sued Strong Memorial Hospital on a medical negligence theory claiming that the care that she received during the performance of a Caesarean delivery in 2003 damaged her organs and resulted in the removal of her transplanted pancreas she received in 1995 to treat her diabetes. She further claimed that poor planning, doctors at the Rochester, N.Y., hospital cut the connection between her pancreas and bladder during the Caesarean delivery, causing pancreatic fluid and urine to leak into her abdominal cavity. The acidic fluid burned her organs, ate through her abdominal wall and required doctors to remove her pancreas.

Defendant denied wrongdoing on the part of its staff.

Plaintiff's verdict for $17 million.
